Miasma - Christina Woods

What if déjà vu was the world giving you another chance?

Miasma is a character-driven fantasy adventure that follows Piper, a young woman forced into hiding after her mother is executed for using forbidden spirit magic. Years later, Piper lives under an assumed identity, keeping her own dangerous abilities concealed-until her partner, Celene, an exiled princess of the fallen kingdom of Stromst, is called back home.

As tyranny tightens its grip on Stromst, the two are drawn into a desperate mission alongside a reluctant ally, Alex. What begins as a rescue quickly unravels into something far more dangerous, exposing a regime built on the exploitation of spirit users and a royal family fractured by power.

When their first attempt ends in tragedy, Piper is given an impossible second chance-returned to the beginning with no clear memory, but a growing sense that something is deeply wrong. As events begin to shift, Piper must navigate fear, loss, and the limits of her own power to change a fate that refuses to stay buried.

Blending political intrigue, romance, and a layered magic system, Miasma explores sacrifice, identity, and the cost of rewriting destiny.

Fast-paced, heartfelt, and filled with adventure, Miasma is a gripping young adult fantasy about courage, loyalty, and a love that refuses to fade.
